Silver Linings Of Life’s Lowest Moments

Life often brings lemons and sometimes even entire lemon trees. The key is truly learn to look at the beauty of the struggles and pain to add some sugar and make lemonade. In fact, those that take this advice to heart even make a few dollars from their lemonade stands.

1. When your purse gets stolen, you get to buy a new one. Joke’s on you, thief-man.


2. Getting the flu means you can bust out your high school pants because they fit now.


3. Having wrinkles on your face just means you smiled a lot.


4. If something catches on fire, at least the firemen will be hot. Literally.


5. When your phone dies in the middle of the day, you have a chance to make deeper in-person friendships.


6. Being bad at something means there is always someone better to ask for help.


7. Having friends that are way more active than you means that you get to eat according to their appetites.


8. When you get home from the grocery store and realize that you forgot the one item you went to buy, at least you got other exciting things that you previously didn’t realize you needed.


9. Having buyer’s remorse will encourage you to use the item you just bought more often.


10. Running out of gas shows you just how good your car is at going below the speed limit.


11. If you can’t sleep well, it just means you have more time for other things.


12. When you forget to set a morning alarm, at least you get to sleep in.


13. Having a stressful and challenging job means you get to learn something new every day.


14. Forgetting to brush your teeth in the morning proves who your real friends are by lunch time. Why did everyone sit on the far side of the table at this morning’s meeting?


15. Being single for a long time means that you get to enjoy being in a relationship even more when it does happen.


16. If your flight is delayed you have more time to meet people who have feelings similar to yours.


17. When the barista messes up your coffee order, you not only get to try a new drink, but you probably get a new one for free.


18. Running out of money means you have the opportunity to make familial connections that you may otherwise have overlooked.


19. When you really start to like-like someone and then you find out they aren’t single, at least you know you have good taste.


20. Sending a Mother’s Day card three weeks late means that your mom will know she is special every day of the year.


21. Getting a bad test grade or work evaluation means the only thing you can do is improve.


22. Breaking up means you get a chance to fall in love again.


23. Staining your favorite piece of clothing means you have a new outfit to tie-dye.


24. Loosing something reminds you of all the good things you have.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
